too good to be true?

[Geoff]

I saw this laptop online at CompUSA today, and it seems too good to be true, here are the specs:

Compaq Presario
Pentium 4 2.8Ghz
512MB PC2700 (max 1.25)
60GB hard drive
DVD Burner
ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 w/64MB
15.4" Screen
1x Firewire, 3x USB 2.0
memory card reader
10/100MBps lan port and 54MBps wireless card
56K modem
windows xp home

all this for $499.98, they dont have it there anymore, then did have it this afternoon, but i think that sounds too good to be true.

is possible it was after a rebate or something.

 

[Geoff]

no, there were no rebates, that was the actual price. It said it was a clearance item, but i would still expect that type of machine to cost more then that.

 

[ahajv4life]

there has to be rebates...that looks just like mine and i got it there for 1100....

They were probably trying to get rid of them so they could order a different model, so they offered them at cost or close to it. If that sounded good to you, you should have nabbed one.

 

[Geoff]

i should have, but they were sold out when i looked at it.

 

[X24]

That explains it, they only hada few left, and they wanted to get rid of them.

[Geoff]

thats what i was saying to myself, if i had the money and it was available, i'd buy it in a heart beat.

 

[alanuofm]
